Doctors and the Invention of the English Seaside
Why did the English in the eighteenth century start going to the seaside instead of fashionable spas? Was drinking sea water before being dipped in it really thought to be beneficial? Join us to hear about a time when swimming naked instead of with a bathing suit and oilskin cap was a matter for serious medical debate.
